The experienced oil industry expert noted that should Keyamo be made the Minister of Petroleum Resources, it would amount to putting the best man on the job.
According to him, President Tinubu had promised former Niger Delta agitators of appointing somebody from the region as the Minister of Petroleum Resources.
Etebo stressed that with Keyamo’s legal background, experience in oil and gas matters, besides his contributions to the Petroleum Industry Act, he was best suited to see the sector through a glorious era.
He said: “Festus Keyamo is best suited for this job. He has a solid background in law and he is from the Niger Delta. He has fought for the people of the region and has the composure to bring about growth and progress in the sector.
“He is well informed and deepened enough to carry out reforms and unbundling of the sector, as well as see to the implementation of the Petroleum Industry Act, amongst others.”
The former instrumentation engineer noted that with Keyamo’s knowledge of the industry and the desire of President Tinubu to bring prosperity to Nigeria, he was sure that the legal practitioner would perform beyond expectations.
